We've had a fun time lately enjoying lots of wildlife literally just feet from us while at the office lately. The monkeys are becoming braver and braver with us around, which is fun for now. But, should they begin to get too close and become too curious we have ways to discourage them and remind them to keep their distance.
It's fascinating to watch the monkeys in the trees. The way they move effortlessly through such a tangle of branches and leaves is impressive. I love when they jump from tree to tree. Even the young babies seem to be born with a natural ability to know what branches can be jumped upon and how to do it.
It isn't just monkeys that we've seen at the dock lately. Brooklyn came to help me at work one day and one of our Indonesian employees caught this "biawak" or small species of monitor lizard. This is a small juvenile one as they will get around 4 feet long if they are lucky. After we gave him a thorough inspection we took his rope off and released him back into the surrounding jungle. Look at the claws on that thing...impressive!
